Subdominant eigenvalues for stochastic matrices with given column sums.
Let ℳ be a von Neumann algebra with unit . Let τ be a faithful, normal, semifinite trace on ℳ. Given x ∈ ℳ, denote by the generalized s-numbers of x, defined by = inf||xe||: e is a projection in ℳ i with ≤ t (t ≥ 0). We prove that, if D is a complex domain and f:D → ℳ is a holomorphic function, then, for each t ≥ 0, is a subharmonic function on D. This generalizes earlier subharmonicity results of White and Aupetit on the singular values of matrices.
A copositive matrix A is said to be exceptional if it is not the sum of a positive semidefinite matrix and a nonnegative matrix. We show that with certain assumptions on A−1, especially on the diagonal entries, we can guarantee that a copositive matrix A is exceptional. We also show that the only 5-by-5 exceptional matrix with a hollow nonnegative inverse is the Horn matrix (up to positive diagonal congruence and permutation similarity).
The multilinear forms, obtained by polarizing the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of a matrix, are considered. A general relation (formula A) between such forms is proved. It follows in particular a rational expression for the above-mentioned coefficients (formula C), which is in a sense analogous to Newton's formulas, but with the use of the determinant function instead of the trace function.
Hurwitz pairs and triples are discussed in connection with algebra, complex analysis, and field theory. The following results are obtained: (i) A field operator of Dirac type, which is called a Hurwitz operator, is introduced by use of a Hurwitz pair and its characterization is given (Theorem 1). (ii) A field equation of the elliptic Neveu-Schwarz model of superstring theory is obtained from the Hurwitz pair (⁴,³) (Theorem 2), and its counterpart connected with the Hurwitz triple is mentioned....
We introduce the notion of a supersymmetry class of tensors which is the ordinary symmetry class of tensors with a natural ℤ₂-gradation. We give the dimensions of even and odd parts of this gradation as well as their natural bases. Also we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the odd or even part of a supersymmetry class to be zero.
In IMUJ Preprint 2009/05 we investigated the quasianalytic perturbation of hyperbolic polynomials and symmetric matrices by applying our quasianalytic version of the Abhyankar-Jung theorem from IMUJ Preprint 2009/02, whose proof relied on a theorem by Luengo on ν-quasiordinary polynomials. But those papers of ours were suspended after we had become aware that Luengo's paper contained an essential gap. This gave rise to our subsequent article on quasianalytic perturbation theory, which developed,...
A problem of finding a system of proportionally located parallel supporting hyperplanes of a family of connected compact sets is analyzed. A special attention is paid to finding a common supporting halfspace. An existence theorem is proved and a method of solution is proposed.
The present study develops the Clifford algebra within a dermatological task to diagnose skin melanoma using images of skin lesions, which are modeled here by means of 5D lesion feature vectors (LFVs). The LFV is a numerical approximation of the most used clinical rule for melanoma diagnosis - ABCD. To generate the we develop a new formula that uses the entries of a 5D vector to calculate the entries of a 32D multivector. This vector provides a natural mapping of the original 5D vector onto...
